Thanks for the input.
set the PS3 and DVD audio output to Bitstream. Its a must for true surround sound with Optical cable.

You said you played the PCM track on your Robin Williams DVD, it will be PCM no matter what. Set both players to Bitstream (pcm tracks will always be pcm anyways.)

The problem, is that having your PS3 set to Linear PCM, it is decoding the lossless tracks internally and optical is only capable of 2.0 (stereo) Uncompressed PCM.

Listening in stereo mode is why it sounds like you are losing dialogue. But in reality, its just on the wrong setting.

Trust, set the players to Bitstream.
